I spent almost every day at Union Station shepherding people to their rounds, making sure everyone (or at least every Judge) has Player's Packs, and doing the scoring.It's always cool to see familiar faces make another attempt at the tournament, and getting their stories as they leave ("We TPK'ed but it was a blast! Greatest 300 moment ever!") kinda makes it worthwhile.Glad you liked the seminar! We try to mix the entertaining and informative.If you like high-quality GMs, check out the DCC tournament next year. We screen them pretty heavily, and end up with only the best (including a few people found here on ENWorld).Back to Gen Con:One of my highlights was Castle Whiterock winning a silver ENnie for Cartography. We were also nominated for Best Adventure, but when you're up against WotC and Paizo, what are you gonna do? I got to eat exactly one White Castle slider, which for health reasons is really all I should have, but it was sooooo delicious.I actually got to walk around the Dealer's Room on Saturday (a rare treat). Made a bee-line for Fantasy Flight's booth, picked up Kingsport Horror expansion, but they were already sold out of Black Goat of the Woods (NOOOOOO!). Hit the T-shirt booths, missed a chance to get the wife a Flash Gordon hoodie (anyone know who had those?) 'cause I got distracted by Fat Dragon's terrain.Lastly, there was much fun hanging out with the Judges, the Goodman Games staff, and a friend of mine I see about once a year.Like has been said already this thread, the people make the trip worthwhile.</blockquote>
